The City of Alexandria’s Department of Transportation & Environmental Services, Maintenance Division, will begin the process of reconstruction and pavement of North and South Washington Street. This project will be completed in two phases.

Phase I: This phase, which begins July 13, will consist of reconstructive concrete and brick work for curbs and gutters, handicap ramps and driveway aprons. Phase I will take approximately four months, and will take place Monday through Friday, from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Phase II: This phase, which begins in mid-September 2009, and is estimated to continue through the first of second week of November 2009, involves repaving of North and South Washington Street. Work will be done from 9:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m.

During the reconstruction and pavement period, there will be times when all vehicles must be removed from the street. Temporary “No Parking” signs will be posted to notify residents of on-street parking restrictions during the reconstruction and pavement process. Please be aware that reconstruction and paving is subject to change due to inclement weather and unforeseeable complications.
